Drawings & surveys in Sasolburg: local notes
Electrical plans for solar and backup power, because load shedding has pushed many Sasolburg households toward inverters, are a regular drawing job. Contractors serving the chemical plants ask for workshop and warehouse layouts, and Zamdela entrepreneurs ask for spaza shop and tavern plans with escape routes. Older Noordwyk houses without approved plans need as-built drawings for sale or bond approval.
Homes and buildings in Sasolburg
Sasolburg was laid out in the 1950s as a company town beside the Sasol works, and its Garden City streets in Sasolburg proper, Noordwyk and Fluorspar Park still carry tidy 1960s brick houses with generous gardens. Vaalpark is the newer suburb, with a golf and country feel and a growing number of double storey houses toward the Vaal Dam. Zamdela is the large township, where families extend RDP and formal houses and add backyard rooms. Weekend homes at Deneysville and Oranjeville on the dam shore ask for different drawings again. Draughtspersons are based in town and also serve the Vaal Triangle.
Typical as-built drawings requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate record of the walls and roof before knocking down or adding on
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
- Developers and builders: measured drawings of a purchased building before conversion or subdivision
- Shops, offices and restaurants: measured drawings of a leased shop or workshop for the landlord or an occupancy approval
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: as-built plans so the sale can pass the bank and the conveyancer at transfer
- Churches, schools and crèches: records of an older church hall or school building before repairs or a new wing
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: drawings of a farmhouse and outbuildings, many built over the years without approval
